I feel like I have been calling for tea with a walk around the garden. Every flower is so magnificent. Truly, it must be magical to drive up in front of this paradise you and Jim have created. I also love the header photo of Buster with the cow. Buster has such lovely eyes. Thanks for sharing your home and best wishes with your guests - enjoy!

Love love love your header. What a great shot.I tried to find some Montbretia Lucifer 'red' and could only find an orange flower. Bummer. we see it around here but cant buy it.Your property is looking wonderful. No wonder you have had no time to blog. Lots to tame there. Enjoy your company.

That mystery white flower is amazing - it's a cross between and orchid and a lily. The hollyhock buds are far nicer than aliens! Your garden is looking stunning and all the other flower pics are beautiful. I love the little natural rockery by the gate. Your guests have a real treat in store.

Hi Lisa, I do hope so! The road is greatly improved and you don't get hit by brambles now!

Hello Mildred, what a lovely comment. I only show you the best bits you know, there are plenty of grotty bits too! Buster has got lovely eyes and ginger eyelashes too! He's a lunatic though. Love to you, John and Harriett.

Hello Cris, so glad you like the header. Can I send you some lucifer bulbs? Is that legal??

I'm looking forward to having company again - it's been a while.

Patty, thank you. I love our rocks too, except when I have to move them!

Hi Jason, I thought you'd like the roses.

Hi Rachel, thank you.

K, I will save you some poppy seeds of course. I have a little bag here of seeds for Rachel - you can take them back with you. Some white cornflower and a very pretty, raggy small carnation.

No problem about your visit, the more the merrier!

Heather, thank you for the lovely comments. I'm glad you liked the hollyhock buds. I don't think I've noticed them at that stage before. I like my little rockery by the gate - it was such a mess there and all falling down, so I attacked it! Love to you and yours, Gina.

BT, I dont know if its legal or not to send bulbs. I do know we can bring plants from California to oregon but we cant take them to California. I would love some. Maybe your post office would tell you. My neighbor and I have looked all over for those Lucifers. :))

Hello Pat, I'm not sure about that rose, all the labels wore off, but it could be. I have the carboard names somewhere so I'll try and check. Buster and the Heifer sounds wonderful!! Everyone seems to like the photo - though I took it last year. The sun is a-shining now - wonderful!

Hi BT. Wow, what beautiful blooms you have now in your garden. All of those gorgeous roses and poppies. I love the red and white poppy. That is a new one that I have never saw and I love the frilly white one. Just Gorgeous. I love the mystery flower. It looks like a lily of some kind but I am clueless LOL!Have a wonderful weekend!
